Described drop collection unit comprises conduit and collection container, and described conduit is connected with sodium alginate subchannel.
What in sodium alginate passage and sodium alginate subchannel, flow is the sodium alginate suspension that is mixed with cell, and what in oily passage, flow is silicone oil.
In drop generating unit, inject silicone oil from oily passage, as external phase, inject the sodium alginate suspension (hereinafter to be referred as SA) of cell mixing from sodium alginate passage, as disperse phase, wanting of the velocity ratio SA of oil is fast, thereby can obtain SA drop by pinch off SA, by controlling the flow velocity of oil and SA, can the accurate size of controlling drop.
Charging part can make the sodium alginate drop that contains cell produce induced charge.
Charging part utilization adds electric field, in non-contacting mode, SA drop is carried out to precharge.In the time that a neutral solution drip is crossed the charging electric field in micro-raceway groove, can induction produce positive and negative charge on drop surface.Sodium alginate channel end (place crossing with sodium alginate subchannel) has a wedge, in order to the SA drop separation after charging is become to the sub-drop with positive and negative different electric charges respectively.By precharge operation, separation voltage and switching time are significantly reduced.
Voltage control division can be controlled charged drop direction of motion and then can enter predefined passage.
In voltage control division, sodium alginate subchannel upstream portion (before connecting oiling pipeline) is narrow, downstream part (after connecting oiling pipeline) is wider, drop can change to wide pipeline speed from narrow pipeline, may make drop below knock above, so need to avoid the device of collision, wherein oiling pipeline can be used for changing SA liquid drop movement speed and solve above-mentioned collision problem.
Charging electrode in charging part and voltage control division is symmetrically, can produce uniform electric field in channel part.Electrode forms by inject temperature silver slurry in electrode raceway groove, and electrode height is the same with channel height.Do like this and electrode and microfluidic channel can be accomplished in one deck, thereby simplified the making processes of chip.

The sodium alginate passage of the charging part of flowing through requires narrow, is because wish that drop width is consistent with passage width, is full of passage, thus not deflection of drop when making charging.Sodium alginate subchannel downstream is wide is because control part requirement passage is suitably wider, provides a horizontal space to carry out deflection to drop.
When micro-fluidic chip work of the present invention, pass through microscope, can observe a series of stream of liquid droplets superpotential control part, in the time that the SA stream of liquid droplets with MCF-7 is come, on charging electrode in voltage control division, add an instantaneous high pressure pulse, thereby drop meeting deflection under the effect of pulse enters the target cell collection unit of setting, reaches the object of specific cell being carried out to sorting.
Compare the technology of existing sorting cells, the present invention is by being integrated together electrode raceway groove and micro-fluidic chip liquid-flow raceway groove, make the micro-fluidic sorting chip of simple individual layer, and the electrode that traditional electric sorting micro-fluidic chip uses normally plates the corresponding precious metal of one deck by the method for magnetron sputtering or evaporation on slide glass, for traditional sorting chip, this kind of chip manufacturing process is simple and easy, and equipment is simple, material cheapness, pollution-free.
Meanwhile, the raceway groove that the electrode of this fabrication techniques passes through with fluid has identical height, is 3 D stereo, thereby the electric field being formed in the middle of electrode is uniformly, compares traditional die, is easier to drop charge and control.
Apparatus of the present invention are by charging to drop, needed voltage (being reduced to 30V from 300V) while greatly having reduced sorting, thereby reduce voltage from zero to the needed reaction times of peak value, greatly improve the controllability of sorting, reduced the voltage peak of pulse also for certain basis has been established in following miniaturization development.
